Would you trade our first rounder for Deshaun?

Do ANY players normally get to help pick the new GM?

No. Nor should they. It's a dumbass idea.

But it was stupid of the owner to promise to consult him and then not do it.

[SOJA]

a single first rounder, Houston would have to still be run by BOB for them to take that

I wonder if we’re asking GM candidates about this situation in interviews

Seriously doubt it.

Heck, the vast majority of our GM interviews were already over before this situation blew up.

I would trade our entire draft capital from 2021 to 2023 in a heartbeat and not think twice. And then I'd have Watson play QB and linebacker since we'd only be able to field a 34 man roster. #huddleGMs

We could make that work. Lotta JAGs out there that would take the minimum salary just to play ball.

So basically, you want to take him out of Houston and then build an even worse team around him?

Oy...

The formula of one superstar plus a bunch of JAGs has already been tried a couple of times. I've yet to see if it produce any championships.

Deshaun doesn't want to come here and he shouldn't. Opps sorry for being negative.

Suppose I should've added a /s at the end.

Yeah, wouldda helped.

What frightens me is some of the ideas that I see from people who aren't sarcastic at all.

I'd do 2 firsts and a third.

I'd trade 2 firsts and CMC.   Yeah he is awesome but a franchise QB like Watson who is proven and not a maybe is worth way more than a RB/WR even at CMC's level.

CMC and a 2nd for Watson

lol

It's alot smarter to just take a chance at drafting a qb that falls to 8 or just continuing to build the roster until we get that qb .

You don't have to handicap your team for years in the future to be successful. Play the long game!

"Take a look at the contract. Trading him would result in a cap charge of $21.6 million. The Herschel-sized haul of draft picks that a Deshaun Watson trade would generate would more than justify it." https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/07/will-deshaun-watson-ask-for-a-trade/

But his hit next year is $15.9 million. For less than $6 million more cap hit, they could rake in a pile of draft picks for the next coach/GM to use in the rebuild effort and send a disgruntled player down the road.
